Burgundy: our selection of 100 nugget wines available from 9€50
01/02/2023 La Revue du Vin de FranceBouzeron, Givry, Rully, Montagny, Mercurey - the Côte Chalonnaise offers great Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. A godsend for connoisseurs frustrated by the soaring prices of Côte-d’Or wines.
In a context where Burgundy wines are experiencing unprecedented enthusiasm, with stratospheric prices while offering an exceptional level of quality, the succession of low-volume harvests, in particular 2021, has come to hamper this fine ascent.
This speculative bubble particularly affects the wines of the Côte de Nuits and the Côte de Beaune, to the great displeasure of wine lovers. Because if the Burgundy winegrowers have filled up with the 2022 vintage, this has not calmed the enthusiasm of the markets. Prices continue to climb and connoisseurs looking for affordable wines have struggled to find what they are looking for. But in the shadow of these two prestigious sectors, a few vineyards are resisting this speculative frenzy: the Mâconnais, the Côte Chalonnaise, not forgetting the Chablisien.
Acquired by OLMA Luxury Holdings at the end of 2012, Domaine Chanzy has seen a number of major changes and developments that have led it to become the major Côte Chalonnaise vineyard it is today. Historically located in Bouzeron, a small and hidden Burgundian village typical of the region, it expanded to the neighbouring towns with the acquisition of Domaine Pagnotta in 2016, doubling the vineyard area to reach 80 hectares. The wines of Domaine Chanzy are frequently praised in the specialist press: they are the essence of the respect given to the terroirs from vine cultivation through to the wine-making and ageing process.
